Homework 3/11

First of all, thank you all for your cooperation this afternoon. I appreciate the courtesy I was extended during my speech to the class. I do believe that this will benefit us all in the long run.

Now, for homework. Please read 2.2 this evening. It is a long scene with a lot going on. Pay attention to how R&G are brought to spy on Hamlet, How Claudius and Polonius plan to use Ophelia, What Voltemand has to say about the king of Norway, How Hamlet twists words of others, the underlying feelings Hamlet has for R&G, and what Polonius sees as the cause of Hamlet's madness. 

Tomorrow, I will show the scene in class and we will break it up into segments. We will see who is on stage, and what each person is doing.  Then, we will discuss the scene. Have a good night.

Please check snapgrades for accuracy. At this point, mostly everything is in. There are a few things to grade, but not much. If you are missing a lot of work, you should see me. For this marking period, your grade will be based on snapgrades, as well as attendance, participation, etc.
